Die Invasion der Alliierten am 6. Juni 1944 in der Normandie läutete das Ende des 2. Weltkriegs ein und ging als 'D-Day' in die Geschichte ein. Beevor zeichnet diesen Tag in einer ungeschminkten Momentaufnahme minutiös nach. Ein Buch, das unter die Haut geht und die Geschichte klug und verständlich vermittelt.
